SCHOOL HISTORY

The completion of the College High building in November, 1929,
marked the beginning of our school history. At that time there were only^
the seventh, eight , ninth, and tenth grades, the last being the present
Senior class. Heretofore, classes had been carried on in the basement rooms
of the College, but in November, the school was moved into its new
building. Here we were faced with a new problem. We had no traditions,
and less than a hundred students to establish fitting standards. Although
there were a school constitution and a student Council, neither one had
become definitely a part of the school government.

The year 1930 was to be an important one in the founding of the
school organization. The Science, Dramatic, and Glee clubs were started
by the students. A school orchestra and a small band were formed. In
April of 1930, the operetta "Hansel and Gretel" was given very success-
fully by the combined efforts of the Glee Club and the English depart-
ment. Thus was established a worthy dramatic and musical standard for
the College High School.

In the next year, 1931, athletics took the major role in school activi-
ties with the founding of the Athletic Association. Athletic equipment,
baseball and basketball uniforms were purchased with the membership
fees of this Association. School songs and cheers were composed, and the
school colors, orange and black, were chosen.

Several new clubs were organized in this year, namely the French
and Art clubs. Both of these have increased greatly. In February, Booth
Tarkington's play "Seventeen" was given by the class of '32 in the Mt.
Hebron School auditorium. The play was extremely successful, a success
largely due to the hard work of coaches, actors, and committees. The
performance was presented primarily to earn money for the first year
book. A prize of an orange and black banner bearing the numerals of the
winners was presented to the class of ^36 for having sold the most
tickets.

The year 1932 has seen the greatest advancement in the College
High School. The two outstanding features were the reorganizing of the
Student Council and the establishing of the school paper, the CriePv.

The Student Council, which previously had not been able to find its real
place in the school life, started on a career ^ activity. A new constitution
was drawn up, for the old one was found to je, insufficient. The College
High School Standards, which combines all the rules and standards
established in the school from its beginning, was edited. Student tutoring,
an interesting and highly successful project, was spo^— -^ h^r the Council.
The adoption of a school flag, suggested by the v lub of the

ninth grade, and the letter award for athletic prowess ,vert ..er matters
under its charge.

The establishment of the CRIER was a big stride forward in the High
School organization. The paper has helped to make the school more
acquainted with its own activities, and has stimulated interests in projects
which would have otherwise passed unnoticed.

Now the school is filled to its capacity of one hundred and fifty
students in the combined Junior and Senior Schools. These students come
from many different towns in the vicinity, but the school has made them
into a cooperating student body which is working for the school's further
improvement, and is endeavoring to build up a worthy tradition for sub-
sequent classes to follow.

ISABEL ANDERSON

Isabel was the president of cur student council for the first half
of the senior year, and she was the editor of the year book, both hard
jobs as the school had no precedents to work on. Isabel is a leader,
and what is more, a leader who can make other people work. Because
of all these activities and her studies, school must take a good deal of
Isabel's time, nevertheless she always finds time to ride. She is ob-
viously and wholly crazy about horses. We are all familiar with the
Anderson Ford station wagon, and the abandon with which Isabel drives
it. Slim, with dancing eyes and vivacious character, one of the most
delightful things about Isabel is that one never knows exactly what she
is going to do or say next.

EVERETT BALL

"Dynamite," as Dr. Freeman used to call him, well deserves the
name in basketball, but otherwise Everett's speed has never been im-
pressive. Li class every word he speaks seems to be a distinct effort;
he should worry, he. gets on the honor roll with remarkable regularity.
Despite his deliberateness, Everett is very interested and very good in
athletics. He is one o£ the high lights of the basketball team, and
among the first out for any other sport. Though he is very modest
about it, Everett is said to be a super-scientist, anything technical intrigues
him. Someone found out recently, that though he saunters leisurely
up to school in the morning, he dees some tearing to catch his train.

RICHARD COLMAN

Dick, class hero, Don Juan, and what-not, has been one of the
mainstays of College High athletics. Perhaps the fact that he has
also numerous tennis and swimming cups is not so well known. Never-
theless, everyone knows of the great value he has been to the basketball
team. Dick's good nature is as familiar to the school as his golden
hair, and both serve as well to make him thoroughly popular. For a
long time he has been quite interested in his saxophone, and though the
orchestra has repeatedly urged him to join its ranks, he is rather shy
about his musical abilities. As the father, Mr. Baxter, in "Seventeen,"
Dick gave a very convincing, and often times a very amusing perform-
ance.

MARJORIE CORCORAN

Marge is one of those rather quiet people who survey each new-
comer before they decide to call him friend. But once she accepts you, she
will never reject you. She is one of those people whom the world seeks
out in every "nook and cranny" and then holds in high esteem. Mac
always seems to be occupied in thought, if not in conversation. While
the rest of us are conjugating subjunctives and trying to understand col-
loidal chemistry, she is off somewhere, in theory if net reality, having a
"peach of a time." Mac has a delightful soprano voice and ably assists
the Glee Club in its musical efforts.

CATHERINE DeLAMATER

Whenever literature is the subject of discussion, most of the class
backs discreetly out of the picture and leaves the question to Kate. She
has read unlimited quantities of all the things that well-read people
should read, and a lot more besides. In English the class gapes in
ignorant innocence when Katie argues psychological issues with Mr. Bohn.
She is also very much interested in dramatics. One needs only to
recall her excellent work as Guinevere in our Sophomore production
of "Idylls of the King" in order to appreciate her abilities. Kate is,
moreover, a capable manager, as her work on "Seventeen" and her
coaching of several English projects prove.

JANE DOSCH

Jane is the little girl with the big Buick eight which she drives
down from Caldwell every morning. Quiet and self-contained, when
Jane does speak, she always commands attention. In spite of a natural
reticence, she is so self-possessed that it is impossible to faze her. A repu-
tation for athletic prowess has sprung up about Jane as a result of her
active playing on the Senior basketball team. Always generous, Jane loans
freely of the five dollar bill ever present in her wallet. Knowing what
she wants and when she wants it, Jane claims that she will never marry
unless the lucky groom earns at least $ 1 1 5 per week.

RUDYARD E. ELDRIDGE

The shining light of the class, its most popular and conscientious
member, is Rudder. He is always on the honor roll and at least
two important committees. His ability, willingness, and genial dis-
position are forever getting him into anything worth while. When
Rudder is in charge, one always has the comfortable feeling that the
job will be well ,finished and on time. As class president, student
council president, and news editor of the "Crier," Rudder has worked
hard and brought about quick and excellent results. His perfect per-
sonification of Willy in "Seventeen" was the high spot of the per-
formance not soon to be forgotten by the school. Many long classes
have been considerably cheered up by Rudder's sense of humor, and
much gaiety has been evoked by his amusing manner.

ANN ELLIOT

Ann is the class's most all-around member. Whether it be sports, a
dance, or activities of any sort, she is sure to be there, ready and willing
to undertake any job. She is one of those persons who can play a good
rough game of basketball and finish up looking perfectly neat and com-
posed. It is Ann who was responsible for the bottomless punch bowl at
the Senior High dance, and Ann also contributed a large share of the
excellent spirit which made the dance such a success. Outside of school
she has many interests such as music, books, and dances, interests which
go far to prove her versatility and wide-spread capabilities.

CHARLES FINLEY

Have you ever noticed anyone around school in a particularly nice
green sweater? Someone who reminds us of the glories of Illinois, and
who is crazy about photography? Charles, or "Chassis" as he is more
often called, isn't exactly what one would call a "ladies' man," but we
understand that he corresponds with a certain young lady who dwells
out in the Middle West. Photography isn't the only field in which
Charles is proficient j in warmer weather the tennis courts are often
witness to his eflforts. He spends a great deal of time in the science
room in pursuit of scientific knowledge of all sorts. This fact is doubt-
less preliminary to his future career, he wants to be a science teacher,
and we've no doubt that he will make an excellent one.

Basketball, '12

GRACE HATCH

Grace has been in the College High for only a very few months,
and because of her quiet and unaflFected manner, we don't know much
about her. She was one of the too few people in the class who seemed
to know enough about "Burke's Conciliation Speech" to merit an "A" on
the final testj to the class, that means something. Grace, from her
first day in school here, came out faithfully for basketball. She's a good
player, and appeared at the crucial moment for the seniors. It is not
generally known what Grace's chemistry marks are, but she seems al-
ways to be studying the subject in the library, usually with one eye o-n
her book, and one eye on Gertrude.

STUART JEFFERSON

We all know that stocky, light-haired, blue-eyed fellow who shuffles
around school. He is a splendid student. In fact for a long time we all
wondered what he did besides study. It came out in the end that among
other things he was interested in electricity. Yet electricity and studying
do not keep Jeff occupied all of the time. He steals a few minutes now
and then to have some fun. Jeff has evidently felt that the school needed
adornment and set about to rectify the lack of it. We have all seen the
displays which he has placed in the show cases from time to time. In-
deed, Jeff has always been thoughtful about doing those little things
which everyone so appreciates.

French Club, ^31, '32

GERDA LUDERS

Good-natured Gerda always does her bit for everyone despite the
large amount of "kidding" she takes from the class. Gerda early showed
signs of possessing an unusual character, having at one time been the col-
lege psychology department's pet study. However, probably because the
professors had learned only that which Gerda wished to reveal, she was
soon sent on her way, told that her "I.Q." was too high to warrant
further study of her character. One often hears Gerda trilling a little
song to herself, or wailing out in French class "I'm sorry. Mademoiselle."
Life, to Gerda, with a German classic in front of her, a stubborn silence
over her, and a luscious dessert at her side, is all one bowl of cherries.

INGEBORG LUDERS

Ingeborg is our most perfect example of strong character and a pleas-
ing personality. As a secretary she is without an equal. We are well
aware of the promptness and detail of her minutes (though few of us
can read her writing), Inga is constantly on the honor roll, faithfully and
enthusiastically present at sports, and a tireless worker on every committee
or club with which she is connected. Her energetic and capable manage-
ment of the invitation committee of the Senior High dance and of the
French Club, was not only inspiring but also largely responsible for the
success of both enterprises. We will always remember her weakness for
debates and the tenacity with which she defends her point.

GERTRUDE McCORMACK

Gertrude's sprightly, pleasant, and helpful disposition has been a
tremendous help to the seniors. In any project she is always so willing to
help, and always does things so well. In taking charge of the class rings
and pins, Gert was given a big responsibility. The efficiency with which
she took hold of and accomplished the job can hardly be questioned. As
president of Craftangle, Gertrude has been busy and interested, and the
club has thrived. She, herself, is very fond of art and drawing, and has
produced some very commendable work. As the chairman of the Senior
Dance entertainment committee, Gert worked diligently and her capabili-
ties made a very favorable impression.

RUTH MARGRETT

Someone is giggling. Now who can that be? Yes, it sounds like the
?vlargrett giggle. It is so infectious that without knowing the joke at all
one starts laughing in sympathy. It enlivens even the deadest classes. Yet
Ruth isn't always laughing, she can really be serious. The way she has
managed the photography end of the Year Book has proved that. It was
a hard task and she did it well. She is always willing to work, yet never
takes anything so seriously that she can't find something to laugh about.

JOE HARRIS ROGERS

If there is anyone in this school slower than Everett Ball, it's
Joe Rogers. We've never known him to make a deliberately speedy
gesture. Even his speech, that slow. Southern drawl, is very character-
istic. Here is something, though, which very likely is not known to
everyone. Jce does like to dance to fast music, the faster the better.
He's a good dancer, too. Joe has a decided talent for drawing 5 every-
one was tremendously taken by his posters and programs for "Seven-
teen." The Seniors will always remember Joe, shambling along under
his grey felt hat with the cut off brim and the sticker on the side.
Also they will recall with chuckles the tales he tells in library.

ELIZABETH H. RUSLING

Libby comes to us every morning from the wilderness known as the
"Caldwell Styx." As little Lola Pratt in the Junior play, "Seventeen,"
she showed the benefit of much experience in the unaffected manner in
which she portrayed the petite coquette. We are not surprised at her
popularity, for, as Mile. Poreau says, "Libby's eyes are always sparkling."
Always dependable, Libby has been showered with positions of respon-
sibility during her three years at College High. She has been class secre-
tary, feature editor of the CRIER, assistant editor of the Year Book, and
three times Council vice-president. This fall Libby plans to attend Wil-
liam Smith College, where we expect another brace of male hearts to be
disrupted.

LOIS TOMPKINS

To hear Tommy singing lustily in the locker room, or dashing
madly off to the dog-wagon for lunch, one would never dream that her
biggest interest in life is babies. Could it be that the total absence of
baby pictures from the library magazines is due to Tommy: Because
of her height, she is a valuable asset to the basl^etball team, anti the team
always has a pleasantly secure feeling when she comes in as jump.
Tommy's sense of humor and her ready tongue are the causes of many
lively outbursts in and out of class, and her friendliness and genial ways
have won her many friends.

RANDOLPH ZANDER

Randolph, the coin and stamp enthusiast, finds a medium of ex-
pressing his rare sense of humor in the columns of the CRIER. As
its managing editor he has seen the first issue of the paper come out
with flying colors, and in the capacity of editor, has held the CRIER
to the highest of journalistic standards. Randolph, the honor student,
would not recognize a "B" on a report card if he saw one, having for
the past year and a half received perfect grades in his five subjects.
In spite of his general proficiency, Randolph finds economics, (that study
of money with its pertinent relation to life), the most engrossing of his
studies. Indeed this is logical, since it is rumored that he hopes to
become a bear in Wall Street after his graduation from Columbia.

CLASS WILL

and disposing mind and memory do hereby make, publish, and declare
this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills

In the first two years of its existence, the Student Council was a
doubtful child. It seemed to lean toward sleeping ( as most young
children do) and was always falling down and bumping its knees. How-
ever, this year under the capable management of Isabel x^nderson, it
was picked up, dusted ofF, and set firmly on its feet. In the second
term, Rudyard Eldridge has taught it to walk and to run a little bit.

One of its most notable enterprises is the student tutoring in charge
of Elizabeth Rusling. Students with high scholastic standing help
those who are less fortunate than they in their comprehension of certain
subjects.

The Council appoints home room monitors whose duty it is to see
that the class rooms are left in proper order. The two monitors for
each grade, one student council member, and one appointed by the
Council from the class at large, hold office for one marking period. The
Council also successfully backed the Junior and the Senior school parties.

In March, the Council inaugurated a new idea, that of having
authorities from the student body sit in on discussions concerning their
particular activities.

One of the most important tasks was to draw up a constitution for
the school as the old one proved inadequate. The council also prepared
a code of ethics: The College High Standards. This is to familiarize
the new pupils with the school ideals and standards of conduct.

In collaboration with the Weusnco Club the Council chose designs
for a school flag which were voted upon by the student body.

BOYS' ATHLETICS, 1931-1932

This is the second year that the College High basketball team has
had the opportunity to play a fairly large and representative schedule.
Last year the Orange and Black quintet played, for the most part, the
second teams and reserves of the high schools throughout the northern
part of New Jersey. The team accounted itself most satisfactorily, win-
ning a large percentage of its games. In '32, on the basis of the
strength of last year's squad, games were scheduled almost entirely with
the varsity teams of the high schools in this vicinity. Only two of last
year's regulars returned. Nevertheless, Coach Hohn managed to create
a fairly creditable team from the green material at his command.

The season opened on Friday, December 1 1 , at Tenafly. The team
was inexperienced, and unable to cope with the veterans of Tenafly . The
final score of the game was 44-12. Three days later the team travelled to
Verona, and, although showing great improvement, was subdued by a
score of 20-8. On January 11, the faculty was defeated 35-29. In the
next game, Belleville defeated the Orange and Black 28-18, in a pre-
liminary game in the college gym. The team fared better on January 1 5,
at Glen Ridge. The game was hotly contested, and was finally won by
ttie Glen Ridge team in an extra period, 23-21. Our quintet met the
junior varsity of the college on the 20th of January, and Montclair
Academy on the next day. The game against the Montclair Academy
resulted in a defeat, largely due to the small size of their gym. College
High was victorious over the college junior varsity by a score of 36-28.
Meeting the Montclair High School reserves on January 27, the Orange
and Black boys were defeated by a lucky shot dropping through the
basket after the finishing gun. At Caldwell, Coach Hohn's boys were sub-
dued by a more experienced squad, 29-17. Tenafly, traveling to Mont-
clair, again scored to the tune of 35-18. Caldwell was victorious, and
Kingsley took the measure of the Orange and Black boys at 28-19. Tea-
neck invaded the Montclair stronghold and again carried oif the honors.
The game, however, was fast and close, anci a marked improvement was
in the attack of the College High quintet. In the final game of the

season, on February 14, the team finally found itself, and swept to a
35-18 victory against Brookdale. In this game the teamwork which had
been missing all season, finally clicked, and the result was entirely satis-
factory.

Prospects for next year are bright. The squad loses only two men by
graduation. Ball and Colman. Although these two were regulars, their
shoes will be competently filled by Jenkins and Bruning, two very prom-
ising reserves. The probable line-up of the varsity next year will be
Costello and Marquardt, guards j Stotz and Jenkins, forwards j Bruning,
center. These boys have all gained valuable experience this year, and we
hope they will make good use of it in the next year's campaign.

JUNIOR BOYS' ATHLETICS

Probably the most encouraging sign on the sports horizon of the
College High was the intense interest shown by the boys of our Junior
High. iVcting under their own initiative they formed a basketball
squad, arranged their practice to fit the schedule of the varsity, and
built up a schedule of their own. This activity cannot be praised too
highly. It is an expression of boys themselves, their initiative, and
their leadership in carrying out their own athletics, which bids well for
future College High teams.

In the first game of their schedule, the team, made up of ninth
grade boys, played the Verona ninth graders at Verona. Our boys
played a great game considering their lack of experience, but went down
to defeat by the score of 21-15. Not satisfied with their showing in
this game, the boys went to work to improve their playing. After two
weeks of hard practice they again challenged the Verona boys, and this
time the tables were turned, coming up from behind in the last 40
seconds, they won the game by the close score of 16-15.

Meeting Mt. Hebron, a school of some seven hundred students,
the College High quintet put up a good, fast game, but finally succumbed
21-23. The game was "nip and tuck" all the way, with some excellent
shooting by Ross Faulkner, The experience of the Mt. Hebron five,
however, was too much for our boys.

Among the seventh graders, basketball has also been a great fav-
orite, and at almost any hour one could see them practicing diligently.
Captain Louis Tompkins was able to schedule only one game for his
team. Mt. Hebron took them into camp in a game played in the
College High gym.

These boys are gaining more than a good time. They are getting
a background of experience, which is probably the most valuable factor
in basketball. For their sportsmanship, perseverance, and initiative, we
say: "Here's to you!"

GIRLS' HOCKEY

The 1931 girls' hockey season consisted entirely of practice games
played after school with the College. These games were very brisk and
exciting, for it was not easy for the high school girls to score against the
college team. The two sides were, however, very evenly matched, and
everyone enjoyed those fast games played in the late fall. Miss Duke,
referee and instructor, coached both teams in order to make the playing
speedier and more interesting. Toward the end of the season there was a
marked improvement in both inciividual and team play.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL

The series of inter-class games wen by the senior team, which
marked the climax cf the girls' basketball season, proved the good
effects of afternoon practicing. The gym was reserved every Wednes-
day for the girls interested in playing basketball. A college student
was appointed to referee and coach on those afternoons. In the latter
part of the season, inter-class games were organized.

The first of these, between the tenth and twelfth grades, was the
best-played game of the series. The sophomores were unable to over-
come the lead gained by the seniors in the first quarter.

The game between the tenth and eleventh grades resulted in a
decisive victory for the sophomores. The juniors bore their defeat
gallantly. The final contest, between the juniors and the seniors,
resulted in another senior victory. With the termination of this game,
the 1932 girls' basketball season closed.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS

Besides the major sports of hockey and basketball, the girls have
been spending their gym periods in practicing archery, volley ball, base-
ball, and tennis.

The archery, which was taken up last fall, and practiced until the
weather interfered, was much enjoyed by the girls, although no great
degree of accuracy was attained by any one. Many points, however, such
as the correct position of the hands, arms, and bow, were thoroughly
learned.

In the winter, between the times given up to basketball, volley ball
became the main activity, and teams were organized for the class periods.
Last year a volley-ball team was organized to play the Caldwell High
School, the game resulting in a victory for the College High girls.

Baseball in the spring, and tennis in summer, were gladly taken up,
especially the latter, for, with the completion of the new tennis courts,
more people were interested in improving and learning the game, a thing
they were unable to do formerly because of the scarcity of tennis courts.
Baseball, on the other hand, was a very minor activity. The infrequency
of gym periods, and the shortness of the ones the girls did have, tended
to discourage interest in the sport, for, unlike tennis, two cannot play at
it during lunch hour, or after school.

Thus, with all the minor activities and the two major ones, the girls
had a full year of sports in 1931-32, although they were unable to special-
ize in any one sport or organize varsity teams for inter-scholastic games,
as in boys' athletics.

To be a first graduating class is certainly a responsibility, and the
Year Book staff has realized this more, perhaps, than anyone else. We
wanted our first annual to be a success, and we wanted it to set a worth-
while precedent for the other classes to follow.

Although our general impressions of year books were formed, they
were very vague j consequently we have tried to work out a year book
characteristic of our school and not characteristic of other year books. The
members of the staff have worked hard in formulating their ideas and
suggestions, and it is to be hoped that the book will enjoy a reputation
worthy of their efforts.

The activities of the senior club have been confined, for the most
part, to visits to local industries. The club has witnessed a variety of
manufacturing processes which included everything from mining iron ore
to the manufacture of artificial ice. Meetings for which no trips were
planned provided time for laboratory demonstrations of numerous scien-
tific phenomena.

This year, after the division of the Science Club into a Junior and
Senior organization, the former elected its own officers and started ar-
ranging a schedule of its own programs. The club's laboratory meetings
have been tempered with occasional field trips to factories, and to places
of scientific interest in this section of New Jersey. The laboratory pro-
grams, carried on by members of the club, have included tallcs on radio,
airplanes, chemistry, and rock formation.

The College High Crier has finished its first year successfully,
and with next year's staff chosen, it hopes to carry on in the traditions
founded by the present staff.

The Crier was organized last fall as a four page bi-weekly pub-
lication under the sponsorship of Phil D. Collins. A temporary staff was
appointed until the new enterprise should be definitely founded. In
order to select a suitable name for the paper, the staff held a competition.
All members of the student body were urged to contribute suggestions
for the namej Lovell Lawrence won. After the publication of the first
four issues, tryouts for a permanent staff confirmed almost all of the
early appointments. The staff members have remained the same through-
out the year with the exception of new reporters, and the addition of a
group of advertising solicitors.

In March, because of unavoidable difficulties, the Crier had to
switch to a monthly basis. The editors have tried to make up in quality
what they have lost in quantity.

The Crier was organized for several reasons, primarily, to provide
a school newspaper, an activity which every wide-awake school should
have, and secondly, to give some experience in journalism to those who
were interested. Although this year there has been rather an unequal
division of the work of the Crier, those who have been on the staff all
agree that they have gained a valuable and enjoyable experience.
